FC Sevilla host Atletico Madrid in an interesting clash for the CL race.

Sevilla are 5th in the standings, just 2 points below Atletico who occupy 4th place. Adding Espanyol and Santander, we get a 4-way fight for the last CL spot available. Sevilla possess a 10-1-3 home record, with a 36-13 GD. In their last 4 games at home they have 4 wins and a draw with Barcelona:

09.03.2008 SPA 1 Sevilla-Levante 2:1

04.03.2008 CL Sevilla-Fenerbahce 3:2

23.02.2008 SPA 1 Sevilla-Zaragoza 5:0

09.02.2008 SPA 1 Sevilla-Barcelona 1:1

26.01.2008 SPA 1 Sevilla-Osasuna 2:1

All the games were open and with plenty of goals. In the last one at home, Levante scored first and then Sevilla totally dominated them, turning around the score and missing several huge chances. In the last 10 minutes, Levante were the better team, but finally Sevilla won. In their last match away at Valencia, they performed good and got a deserved win 2-1. Their attacking force is well known, and they have no injury problems.

Atletico Madrid are hoping to get that CL spot, but they have to fight hard for it, and the first test is tonight. Their away record is 5-3-5 with a 14-12 GD. They do not play very open games away, and recently they have been doing rather bad away, losing 4 of last 5:

08.03.2008 SPA 1 Zaragoza - Atl. Madrid 2:1

24.02.2008 SPA 1 Osasuna - Atl. Madrid 3:1

14.02.2008 UEFA Bolton - Atl. Madrid 1:0

10.02.2008 SPA 1 Santander - Atl. Madrid 0:2

27.01.2008 SPA 1 Mallorca - Atl. Madrid 1:0

Their last game was at home against poor Levante, and they dominated it winning 3-0 in the end. Aguero and Forlan are in good shape, and i believe considering Sevilla's not so good defense and offensive style of play, they can score once or twice tonight.

The first match this season ended 4-3 in Madrid, and tonight i do not expect such a goal flow, but still, 3 or 4 goals are quite likely. The hosts have the upper hand considering recent form and the home advantage, but anything can go wrong in Primera, so in this match it would be smarter to play on goals. Expected score 3-1 or 3-2 here. Good luck.
